Copper Lota and Panchpatra
About this collection
Copper lotas and panchpatras are bought for a puja table, for holding water during the ritual, and sometimes as a small gift. Copper is the metal in every piece here, so the choice is about capacity and handling. The thing that matters most is the capacity: check the millilitre figure on the listing, since two pieces of the same height can hold different amounts.
Copper darkens as it sits in air and brightens again with lemon and salt, so a clean, dry shelf keeps it looking its best. Do not keep sour liquids in copper for long, and rinse the vessel after each use.
